Best brisket I’ve had since moving to Long Island from Texas! I will definitely be back!
Came back today and ordered the brisket grilled cheese. Every aspect of the sandwich was perfect. The gooey cheese, the flavorful brisket, the tangy pickles, and the perfectly toasted bread made me want to savor every bite!
My fiance enjoyed his cheeseburger immensely and we would eat here 3 times a day if possible!

The pulled pork wasn’t dry but it didn’t have much flavor. Brisket sandwich was dry and no flavor. Both items didn’t have a smoke taste. French fries were soggy & the chicken wings didn’t taste like they were smoked and the sauce was way too sweet. Very small place and a bunch of bees and flies swarming around. Such a shame because we based on all the great ratings we’ve wanted to take the trip out to try this place for so long & unfortunately it was a disappointment.

So, first, my apologies to the owners. I left a review a number of weeks ago that was not very kind. Owning a business, let alone a restaurant, is hard work and can be overwhelming. I could have made my point in a much kinder way and I sincerely hope my review did not hurt this business because this is truly a special and unique place.
That having been said, there have definitely been huge improvements in the quality since my last review. I think what’s even more impressive than a restaurant that has good food is one that finds a way to make changes when customer satisfaction declines a bit. Kudos to the recipes and hard work of everyone here. I encourage everyone to try this place out! It is worth it–and the location is beautiful!

Updated Review: I left my original review at the bottom. I was never going to come back here, but I had heard that the owner was going to do things like they use to and be more hands-on with the business. I saw many social media posts that made me believe they were actually starting to try. Everyone needs a 2nd Chance, right? I’m glad I went back.
WOW, this was so incredibly delicious! We had Mac & Cheese with bacon, plain Mac & cheese, and a bacon cheeseburger. The food was seasoned just right. The burger was cooked correctly. The burger buns were perfectly toasted. The bacon was deliciously crispy. The bacon was so good, that when I dropped a piece that fell onto the chair….I enabled the 5-second rule! It was too good to waste! Also, the owner was front and center! And when I chatted with him, he gladly responded back with genuine conversation. Orders are now modernly taken on the phone; which I personally think is smart to do. I initially thought he was playing on his phone while I was giving him my order…but i realized after he was just taking my order on it. I’m sooooo glad I came back to check it out. On another note: I don’t even remember or care to know how much the food cost, because whatever it was –> it was worth it!! We will be coming back very soon!
Original Review: Overpriced for BBQ that is mediocre. Not good enough to go out of the way for. Seems like they are constantly low on supplies; including staple menu foods. A better management system needs to be put in place. There is no consistency in the food: sometimes it’s over seasoned, or undercooked, or dry etc…when I let them know (I only have when it was overly salty and not even edible) they didn’t even offer an apology. He was able to offer me an attitude and tell me it wasn’t over salted. I eventually received a replacement. I expect a better BBQ experience, since it is their “specialty”. What else makes me not want to come back here? Not only is their food mediocre; every single time I’ve gone, the customer service is non-existent. There is never a smile on their for the customer. They look like they are miserable. Looking for service with a smile? You won’t find it here. I’ve seen customers come in from far and are telling the employees how excited they are to be there to eat the BBQ. They might as well be talking to a wall. There is no enthusiasm shown towards the customer. I’ve seen an employee in booty shorts…and I haven’t been back since. That was the last time I went I heard it use to be good years ago…

Ridiculously over priced for mediocre bbq. The food is not that bad buts not good enough to justify paying $40 for just myself. I had brisket with coleslaw and Mac and cheese with a side of bacon bites. Damn near $40. Seems the are regularly out o f stuff also. They need better systems and management.

Unique little place with homemade dishes. I took a star off because they are Inconsistent with menu items. The last few times I’ve been there they were out of several things. I would also recommend them having more specials now n then. The collared greens were great but only seen them available once since they opened. The brisket and bacon bites are one of my favorites!

Delicious!!!! Only wished I had taken some sauce to go with my order otherwise amazing! Can’t wait to come back and try everything else! Also those burnt ends are heavenly! Went back for more tacos, this time around got cold slaw over my taco? Not sure why but next time I will have to say no slaw. Otherwise still delicious

I have gone here regularly since they opened and it really is a cool business that USED to have the best burgers/food on the Island. I don’t know what happened, but lately the quality of food has gone WAY down, the prices are still high, and everyone there seems annoyed by customers instead of grateful for them. I spent $25 there today and have a really upset stomach, which happened the last time I went too.
I was hoping it was a fluke, but seems not. To the owner/s: Check your ingredients for carageean. It is an inedible form of seaweed frequently added to cheese and dairy products as a thickening agent. It is known for triggering stomach cramps. Like the ones I have right now. Please bring the quality back, we miss what this business was a year ago!!!

They had a brisket special sandwich that was amazing. The brisket was very tender and juicy. The pickles we’re a perfect addition. My wife had the potato salad and an order of pickles and she loved them.

I have eaten authentic barbecue food all over the US. My lunch yesterday was absolutely the finest, untainted, perfectly balanced in flavors, sandwich I have ever eaten! The finest salt cured burnt ends, sweet and hot pickles, Brisket, and sauce , were simply out of this world! not to mention the roasted corn and of course, the almighty bacon. Super Kudos boys, see you next weekend. PS that guy in down town PJ could use some lessons from you.
